Summary

This week on Office Ladies 6.0 (our 300th episode!) Jenna and Angela dive into the Office Candy Bags, spotlighting the one and only Michael Scott. The ladies uncover hilarious alternate jokes, extended scenes, and never-before-heard talking heads written for Steve Carell, revealing just how many comedic gems were left on the cutting room floor. They also share a scrapped episode pitch that would have sent Michael, Dwight, and Andy on an unforgettable trip to Washington, D.C. Along the way, the ladies answer a fan question about which behind-the-scenes jobs they’d love to have on The Office. So grab your candy bag, embrace your “interior motive”… and enjoy!
